Quoting jayjg <jayjg99(a)gmail.com>om>:
a) disbelief and mockery (the word
"rutabaga" comes to mind)
I don't think that the rutabaga example was intended to be mockery but
rather a
point about what was happening to encyclopedic content in a method with
minimal
community input. People can use humorous phrases without mocking. Indeed,
sometimes when a topic is sufficiently serious, a bit of levity can be very
helpful.
